ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- A bridge project in southern Stearns County will create a traffic headache for drivers.

Starting on Monday, June 2nd, the Highway 55 bridge over the Clearwater River will close and prompt a detour around the work zone.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says workers will be resurfacing the concrete deck, replacing the approach panels and joints, and upgrading the bridge railing.

Drivers will detour via Stearns County Road 44 in Kimball to County Road 7 in Fairhaven to Wright County Road 2 in South Haven.

The $860,000 project will close the bridge for two months. The project is scheduled to be completed in early August.
